Please, no diddles? Standard and best RTTY contest procedure is no diddles.

Start your exchange with an {ENTER} then your exchange. End your
transmission with a single space.

Anything extra wastes time and doesn't contribute to readability.

For instance, {TX}{ENTER}! 599 # {RX}      Note no space after the {ENTER}

And {TX}{ENTER}CQ TEST {MYCALL} {MYCALL} CQ {RX}     Note space after the
last CQ

Good luck and have fun.

Contest Exuberantly,

Hank, W6SX
